Tutorial:Getting max gear

Getting max gear can be very useful, especially when you're planning to be in combat a lot. This tutorial will show you how to get max gear.

Your sword, armor, and tools are recommended to be made of netherite. However, if you are on Bedrock Edition, and are planning to rely on wind charges or the Wind Burst enchantment, then you should use diamond armor instead, due to the fact that netherite armor nerfs the wind.

• Mending
• Protection IV ^[a]
• Unbreaking III
• Respiration III
• Aqua Affinity

There are multiple enchantment orders with the same cost in levels. At the same total costs in levels the cost in XP can still be different. For example two steps costing 2 and 4 levels require more XP than two steps costing 3 levels each. The optimal enchantment order with Thorns III is {[(Helmet + Thorns III)@12 + (Respiration III + Unbreaking III)@3]@11 + [(Protection IV + Mending)@2 + Aqua Affinity]@3}@14 with a cost of 12 + 3 + 11 + 2 + 3 + 14 = 45 levels. The optimal enchantment order without Thorns III is {[(Helmet + Respiration III)@6 + (Protection IV + Mending)@2]@8 + (Unbreaking III + Aqua Affinity)@2}@9 with a cost of 6 + 2 + 8 + 2 + 9 = 27 levels.

• Mending
• Protection IV ^[a]
• Unbreaking III
• Thorns III
  • Optional
  • Consumes extra durability
  • May be inconvenient for hostile/neutral mob transport as mobs may die to the effect
  • Gives entities 0.5 seconds of invincibility, which can be significant if you are fighting players

The optimal enchantment order with Thorns III is {[(Chestplate + Thorns III)@12 + (Unbreaking III + Mending)@2]@7 + Protection IV}@7 with a cost of 12 + 2 + 7 + 7 = 28 levels. The optimal enchantment order without Thorns III is [(Chestplate + Protection IV)@4 + (Unbreaking III + Mending)@2]@7 with a cost of 4 + 2 + 7 = 13 levels.

• Mending
• Protection IV ^[a]
• Unbreaking III
• Swift Sneak III
  • Optional
  • Useful for raiding structures such as ancient cities
  • Greatly enhances crawl-mining
  • On Bedrock Edition, it allows you to travel much faster while holding up your shield, and on Java Edition, it allows you to bridge much faster without having to use difficult bridging techniques.

The optimal enchantment order with Thorns III is {[(Leggings + Swift Sneak III)@12 + (Thorns III + Mending)@2]@16 + (Protection IV + Unbreaking III)@3}@11 with a cost of 12 + 2 + 16 + 3 + 11 = 44 levels. The optimal enchantment order without Thorns III is {[(Leggings + Swift Sneak III)@12 + (Unbreaking III + Mending)@2]@7 + Protection IV}@7 with a cost of 12 + 2 + 7 + 7 = 28 levels.

• Mending
• Protection IV ^[a]
• Feather Falling IV
• Unbreaking III
• Depth Strider III or Frost Walker II
  • Depth Strider is typically preferred, as it is used in more circumstances. Frost Walker can be inconvenient, as it turns nearby water into frosted ice, which yields the risk of breaking farms or ruining builds.
• Soul Speed III
  • Optional
  • Consumes a small amount^[b] of durability
  • Increases speed on soul soil and soul sand by 61.5%

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Sharpness V (for general use)
  • or Smite V
    • Best for fighting undead mobs, including the wither and wither skeletons
    • Allows you to one shot most undead mobs
• Sweeping Edge III‌^{[Java Edition only]}
  • Deals more damage to multiple mobs at once while standing still
  • May deal damage to passive mobs (such as tamed pets) if they're too close to what's being attacked
• Looting III
  • Increases the amount of loot from fighting mobs; useful for farming
• Fire Aspect II
  • Optional
  • Makes endermen more difficult to fight due to the constant teleporting as a result of the fire
  • Zombies and their variants will ignite their target upon hitting it if aflame.
  • Auto-cooks the meat dropped by relevant mobs upon death, such as cows and pigs
  • Useful against players due to the obscuring effects of fire
  • Causes a 0.5 second invincibility period
• Knockback II
  • Optional
  • Makes ranged targets more difficult to fight
  • Makes chaining hits together harder without a wall, but can be used to chain players in netherite if using Knockback I
  • Can assist players who are running away to get far out of reach, but can aid bow use
  • May push targets into environmental hazards such as lava
  • Effective against pressuring melee attackers such as creepers and piglin brutes

Knockback's various usages may lead to enchanting with Knockback I to reduce the negative impacts or forgoing it altogether

The optimal enchantment order is {[(Sword + Looting III)@6 + (Sweeping Edge III + Unbreaking III)@3]@11 + (Sharpness V + Knockback II)@2}@11 + (Fire Aspect II + Mending)@2>@14 with a cost of 6 + 3 + 11 + 2 + 11 + 2 + 14 = 49 levels.

• Power V
  • Makes many common targets a one-shot and significantly increases damage
• Unbreaking III
• Infinity
  • Mutually exclusive with Mending
  • Allows for infinite usage of normal arrows
    • Incompatible with tipped arrows and spectral arrows
  • Will require replacing or repairing the bow after some time
  • Infinity is generally better than Mending because an Unbreaking III bow can shoot around 1536 times when 2 inventory slots are allocated to it, and can be easily repaired in an anvil with another bow, while the Mending bow can only shoot 64 times when 2 inventory slots are allocated to it, and it needs extra valuable inventory slots for each stack of arrows.
• or Mending
  • Mutually exclusive with Infinity
  • Allows for infinite durability (through collecting XP) at the cost of finite arrows
• Flame
  • Optional
  • Increases damage by doing extra damage after the initial shot
  • The 0.5 second invincibility period caused by the fire can hamper follow up attacks if using the bow at close range.
• Punch II
  • Optional
  • Knocks approaching attackers back far enough that you can charge your bow
  • Can knock the target into lava
  • If your target is already running away, this will quickly cause them to leave shooting range

There are multiple enchantment orders with the same cost in levels. At the same total costs in levels the cost in XP can still be different. For example two steps costing 2 and 4 levels require more XP than two steps costing 3 levels each. The optimal enchantment order is {[(Bow + Power V)@5 + (Infinity (or Mending) + Unbreaking III)@3]@9 + (Punch II + Flame)@2}@10 with a cost of 5 + 3 + 2 + 9 + 10 = 29 levels.

• Quick Charge III
• Multishot
  • Optional
  • Incompatible with Piercing
  • May unintentionally hit other mobs
  • Cannot hit the same target multiple times in one shot
  • Can distribute arrows quickly to large crowds of mobs and can hit up to three targets at once
  • Uses 3 durability per shot

• Mending

Banners can be applied to shields for a design.

• Mending (Highly recommended as tridents can otherwise only be repaired with other tridents)
• Unbreaking III
• Riptide III
  • Incompatible with Loyalty and Channeling
  • Replaces the throw attack with a dash that allows rapid transport while touching water
    • Rain counts as water for these purposes, allowing incredibly fast transport while using an elytra
      • Snow does not count as water for these purposes
• Impaling V
  • Deals increased damage to aquatic mobs (not including Drowned)

Riptide tridents are incredibly useful for quick travel when paired with a water bucket or when in a large body of water.

• Mending (Highly recommended as tridents can otherwise only be repaired with other tridents)
• Unbreaking III
• Loyalty III
• Channeling
  • Large crowd control while a thunderstorm is occurring
    • May unintentionally lead to some mobs transforming into more powerful versions of themselves, such as creepers
• Impaling V
  • Deals increased damage to aquatic mobs (not including Drowned)‌^{[JE only]} or mobs touching water in general‌^{[BE only]}

A Loyalty trident is generally only useful for raiding ocean monuments‌^{[JE only]} or for fights in the water or rain‌^{[BE only]}. These situations are rather rare, thus making this optional.

• Unbreaking III
• Density V
  • or Breach IV
    • Reduces the effectiveness of armor by 60%
    • For fighting other players, as most other entities do not have strong enough armor for it to make a difference compared to the other damage enchantments
• Mending
• Wind Burst III
  • Optional
  • Very difficult to obtain
  • Creates a wind charge when a mob is hit by the player after falling from a high height
• Fire Aspect II
  • Optional
  • Causes immunity to be applied to the mob, which may cause the Wind Burst enchantment to not activate

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Lunge III
  • Optional
  • Pulls you toward your target

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Fortune III
  • Incompatible with Silk Touch
  • Multiplies block drops, increases the chances for rare drops
    • Massively increases yield from ores
• or Silk Touch
  • Optional
  • Incompatible with Fortune
  • Useful for collecting the base form of blocks rather than what they drop, such as ice, stone, or ender chests
• Efficiency V
  • Allows instant mining of many blocks depending on the level
    • Efficiency V combined with Haste II allows instant mining of stone

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Efficiency V
• Sharpness V
  • or Smite V
    • Allows 1-hit killing of most undead mobs like zombies, wither skeletons, and phantoms
    • Allows 1-hit killing a zombified piglin without a critical strike, preventing others from attacking
    • It may be worth enchanting an axe with Smite to deal with undead mobs quicker without consuming another hotbar slot.
• Silk Touch
  • Incompatible with Fortune
  • Useful for getting melons, bookshelves, beehives, or mushroom blocks
  • Allows collection of leaves, which may be unintentional when cutting trees for wood
• Fortune III
  • Incompatible with Silk Touch
  • Has less versatility due to most blocks that are mined with axes being better off harvested by Silk Touch

The optimal enchantment order is {[(Axe + Sharpness V)@5 + (Efficiency V + Unbreaking III)@3]@10 + (Silk Touch + Mending)@2}@10 with a cost of 5 + 3 + 10 + 2 + 10 = 30 levels.

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Efficiency V
• Fortune III
  • Incompatible with Silk Touch
  • Useful for getting flint, as Fortune III only drops flint when mining gravel

• Unbreaking III
• Mending
• Efficiency V
  • Allows instant mining of all blocks mineable with a hoe
• Silk Touch (useful for obtaining leaves or blocks in the sculk family)
  • or Fortune III
    • Useful for obtaining apples and saplings from leaves, or obtaining more potato or carrot from crops

• A large amount of blocks.
• At least a few totems of undying. If PvP is a significant factor, then you should have a large amount of them. If you are on Easy Difficulty, then a shield should be used instead due to the difficulty of obtaining totems of undying.
• At least 2 stacks of highly nutritious food, the best being golden carrots, but it is more realistic to carry cooked meat like cooked porkchops or steak.
  • In PvP fights, wither fights, and similar, it is also good to carry some golden apples and enchanted golden apples.
• If PvP is a factor, then bring at least a stack of ender pearls.
• 1 arrow if you have Infinity on your bow, at least a stack or two of arrows if you have Mending on your bow or are using a crossbow.
• An extended potion of Fire Resistance can save you from lava, which is especially useful in the Nether.
• Bottles o' Enchanting can be used to repair your equipment.
• Firework Rockets that aren't crafted with firework stars, for use with the Elytra.
• Firework Rockets that are crafted with as many firework stars as possible, for use with the crossbow to deal high multi-target damage. However, due to MCPE-52675, fireworks do not explode on contact with entities on Bedrock Edition, making it much harder to hit mobs with the explosions of the fireworks, making arrows generally superior to fireworks on Bedrock Edition.
• A bundle to carry random junk and utilities, such as the ones listed below. You should also pack extra copies of these for backup purposes.
  • Ender chests
    • The ender chest should contain shulker boxes
  • Crafting tables
  • Furnaces
  • Logs
  • Arrows unless you are using an Infinity bow
  • More bundles for extra junk storage

• Unbreaking III
• Mending

These are by far the cheapest explosive weapons, requiring only 5 iron ingots and 1 TNT per TNT minecart, as well as rails. Their main downsides are that they are the hardest weapons to utilize and that they are unstackable. TNT minecarts explode instantly when shot with a flaming projectile, typically created using a bow enchanted with Flame. On Java Edition, their explosion power increases with the speed of the TNT minecart, the speed of the flaming projectile, and the distance that the cart has fallen, with a maximum explosion power of 11.5. This mechanic can be utilized by using a crossbow and either a flint and steel or a lava bucket to ignite the arrow.

End crystals are probably the most expensive option for explosive weapons, due to the variety of needed resources. You'll need to gather ender pearls, blaze rods, ghast tears, and a lot of glass. End crystals can be placed on obsidian or bedrock, and when punched cause an instant powerful explosion. They can also be placed and exploded rapidly, but in order to do full damage and knockback on an opponent, the user must first knock the opponent up near the end crystal. As long as the user is at least 1 block below the exploding End crystals, the user takes little damage from the explosions.

To be practical, respawn anchors require a gold farm, bartering farm, and either a way to farm emeralds (such as the rotten flesh from the gold farm) to trade with clerics, or a witch farm. Respawn anchors, when given a piece of glowstone, can be right clicked on for an instant powerful explosion. Unlike End crystals, respawn anchors do not require a block for them to be placed, allowing them to be placed right at an opponent's feet without having to hit them up. However, respawn anchors cannot be activated in rapid succession and cannot be used in the Nether, unlike end crystals. Respawn anchors also pose a higher threat to the player using them than end crystals do, and thus it is recommended to place a block between the user and the respawn anchor before activating it.

• Reliable, because once you find the right villager, you can get the same enchantment over and over again
• Requires XP farm
• Requires lots of emeralds

• Unpredictable, because an enchanting table is used
• Requires some setup (bug where angered zombified piglins always drop XP was patched, you can use any design but just have a collection point to hit them instead of a grinder)

• Unreliable, because of random enchants on the loot
• Requires lots of XP and traveling
• Has potential to be very effective

Villages are one of the most important structures in the game as they contain villagers. Villagers can trade the player various items, such as enchanted books, including treasure enchantments like Mending, and diamond gear. They also allow the player to trade them a wide variety of resources for emeralds, such as sticks, glass panes, wool, iron ingots, and clay balls.

When you spawn in the world, after gathering a full set of stone tools, it's feasible to head in a random direction and travel until you find a village. If PvP is a factor though, it's better to set up camp at least 2,000 blocks away (preferably in a non-cardinal and non-ordinal direction) from spawn to prevent other players from griefing your base and stealing valuables. You can also find suitable locations using either websites such as Chunkbase, or by creating another world with the same seed and using cheats such as the /locate command to find a suitable location. Kill all loot-dropping animals on sight for food, leather, and wool; harvest any sugar cane you see; mine all ores that you see; and loot any structures. If you come across a taiga, dark forest, or jungle biome, take 4 of those saplings as the 2×2 trees are the best trees for gathering wood in the game. Upon arriving at a village, make sure to secure those resources if you haven't already, and start smelting your ores. With those ores craft a shield and a lightning rod. You may also craft copper armor, however you will be building an iron farm, so crafting copper armor is optional.

In the village, herd villagers into one area. Make sure to place your lightning rod to prevent lightning from striking your villagers. To do this, relocate all the beds, workstations, and bells to the desired area. The villagers go to the beds at nighttime. After that's done, farm carrots and/or wheat and sugarcane and breed villagers (can be done by placing more beds and giving each villager at least 3 bread or 12 carrots, potatoes, or beetroots). Use the villagers to make an iron farm with a trading hall. Make some of the villagers librarians or fletchers. Make at least 1‌^{[JE only]}/2‌^{[BE only]} armorers, 1 toolsmith, and 1 weaponsmith. Make a couple farmers to buy bread (to breed villagers), golden carrots, and apples (to make golden apples) from as well.

You will need a large supply of emeralds, and there are many trades that can supply you with those emeralds. Those trades include, but are not limited to, sticks to fletchers; iron to armorers, toolsmiths, and weaponsmiths; wool to shepherds; clay (from lush caves or a clay farm) to masons; paper to librarians; glass panes to cartographers; and rotten flesh to clerics.

Now, you will need to get diamond gear, by either mining or trading with the villagers. For the villager method, trade with the weaponsmiths, toolsmiths, and armorers until you max them out and buy the diamond equipment they sell. In Bedrock Edition, you will most likely need to get more toolsmiths and armorers to get every piece of diamond gear. For the mining method, you need a villager that sells Fortune II or III books (just combine two level 2 books to get level 3 in an anvil) and once you have a Fortune III book, apply it to a pickaxe in an anvil. Find diamonds either by strip mining or caving. Also, mine redstone, gold, lapis lazuli, and iron.

To get fully enchanted diamond gear, you will need to reroll librarians and get the following enchantments. Make sure to trade with any finished librarians. Using sticky pistons to reroll multiple librarians at once is highly recommended.

You should construct an XP farm because of the high XP costs of enchanting, preferably a gold farm, given how you will be needing gold for netherite, golden foods, and bartering. If you wish, you can raid an ancient city for Swift Sneak, barter with piglins for Soul Speed, and/or raid a trial chamber for Wind Burst. Once you've gotten all of the desired librarians, trade with the librarians and use an anvil to enchant your gear.

Going to the Nether is essential. Gather Nether wart, soul sand, blaze rods, and at least one netherite upgrade. Nether wart and blaze rods can be found in a nether fortress. Nether wart can also be found in bastion remnants' "Housing Units" substructures. Soul sand can be found in soul sand valleys, along the shores of lava oceans, and it is also found where nether wart grows. Netherite upgrades are found in any type of bastion. Nether wart and blaze rods will be used for potion brewing, and soul sand will be used to grow Nether wart. Blaze rods are also needed to go to the End and to make End crystals. Get enough ancient debris to upgrade your gear as well.

When you return from the Nether, you should set up clerics. They can sell you ender pearls and bottles of enchanting, as well as redstone and glowstone. If PvP is a factor, then you should brew Strength II with blaze powder, Speed II with sugar, and extended Fire Resistance with magma cream. Use glowstone dust to brew more potent potions and redstone dust to brew extended potions. Once you have fully enchanted gear, duplicate your netherite upgrade with diamonds, and then upgrade all of your gear to netherite. Do note that in Bedrock Edition, netherite armor nerfs wind charges and the Wind Burst enchantment, so don't upgrade your armor if you are planning to rely heavily on those things. Optionally, you can find your favorite armor trims and then trim your armor.

If you are on Normal or Hard difficulty, then you should gather totems of undying. Raids are by far the best way to get totems, so you should either do a couple raids or preferably construct a raid farm. If you are on Easy difficulty, then you should stick with your shield, as totems are too hard to get in Easy difficulty to be practical (Raids in Easy don't spawn evokers; you need a woodland mansion).

Unlike the aforementioned method, this one doesn't use a village, but instead uses a gold XP farm to get good enchantments. To get the Mending books, you'll need to cure a zombie villager first to make the prices lower while to get Soul Speed III, you'll need to either raid bastions or barter with piglins. This method isn't really efficient in large servers as other players fill up the mob cap instead, rendering the farm useless.

When you spawn in the world, you can go right into caving. And then you need 3 things; leather, sugarcane, and food. The fastest way to get leather and sugarcane is just kill naturally-spawning cows, donkeys, horses, mules, and llamas while picking up sugarcane near rivers. You'll need around 90 leather and approximately 7 stacks of sugarcane so it'll require some farming.

At night, you can hunt some mobs, specifically creepers and endermen. You'll need 1 pearl and 10 gunpowder to craft 2 TNT (you can craft extra in case you made a mistake later on). You'll also need to go in the caves to acquire some materials, including building blocks, lapis lazuli to enchant, some diamonds and most importantly 2-3 stacks of iron. To be as efficient as possible, you'd want to do this:

• Mine for around 20 minutes.
• Return to the sugarcane, break the grown ones and replant them.

When you have the materials, you can craft a diamond pickaxe and an enchanting table (save up the others for later use), enchant the pickaxe with Unbreaking I and smelt the iron for something else (don't craft it for gear). You then need to get obsidian to make a portal and chop around 4 stacks of wood for your build. After getting the rest of the materials, break the sugarcane and go to the Nether. Once in the Nether, break the portal, go to the Nether Wastes biome and erect a temporary camp; you'll need around 29 stacks of Magma Blocks and this is why you need an Unbreaking I pickaxe. The easiest way to get those magma blocks is at the Nether sea level where they're found in huge clumps.

In Java Edition, once you have the required materials, go to the Nether roof, teleport there using an ender pearl (make sure you have a flint and steel, 10 pieces of obsidian, the pistons, TNT, a trapdoor and a lever; also make sure to mark the piece of bedrock). Once above the Nether roof, construct a Nether portal there or break the piece of bedrock you teleported from using a bedrock breaking glitch.

In Bedrock Edition, you can't build above the Nether roof, so find a suitable spot inside the Nether to build a farm.

Once there, you can build the gold farm. The first thing to do with the XP from the farm is to enchant a pickaxe with Fortune III; if the diamond pickaxe from earlier is almost broken, either repair it or craft a new one- don't waste enchantments on weaker gear.

Once you have Fortune, you can return to the Overworld, find a cave and acquire the remaining diamonds. You'll also need some more lapis and more iron for anvils and for hoppers to collect drops from the farm. Once you have the equipment, you then need to enchant it and it's pretty simple. For the armor, get at least Protection IV and Unbreaking III (boots should also have Feather Falling IV as a bonus to reduce fall damage). For the tools, get at least 2-3 essential enchantments such as Sharpness, Efficiency and Unbreaking. The rest of the enchantments are applied with books.

Once all are enchanted, you still need potionmaking supplies, Soul Speed III, and Mending. You need blaze rods and Nether wart from a Nether fortress, so you may want to get those first. Wait for some piglins to spawn and try to barter with them for Soul Speed III: this might take some time depending on your RNG so be patient.

Once you've acquired your Soul Speed III, get a brown mushroom, go back to your portal and return to the Overworld. Plant sugarcane until you have enough paper to trade with your future villager. Then brew a splash potion of Weakness, craft a golden apple and it's now based on luck. Zombie villagers have a 5% chance of spawning in substitute of a regular zombie. If you're on a server, tell the other online players to not sleep. Once we have the villager, cure them, craft a lectern and once cured, put it near them (put a bed near them if he doesn't accept his new job). Then reroll their trades until you have a Mending book, trade with them, craft some books to get the Mending book and there.

After that, smelt the debris and apply the Mending books on your gear. And once your debris is smelted, craft the ingots and there you go, you're done.

The first thing you should do is defeat the ender dragon. Then, go back to the Overworld and get an anvil or two, and get netherite upgrade templates and netherite ingots from the Nether.

Find an End ship right away for elytra, which will make travel much easier. You may want to go back to the Overworld for fireworks. Then, start looting the End city chests. You are looking for diamond gear with your desired enchantments.

When you have several of the same piece of gear, if it is worth it to combine them, do so. Once you have all the enchantments on a piece of gear, you can use the netherite upgrading supplies to upgrade it. Any enchantments you cannot find you can put on later using enchanted books from other structures.

If you want to trim your armor, the spire armor trim and diamonds, gold, or iron for trim materials should be in some of the chests, or you can bring other types from somewhere else.
